ISLAMABAD: Former Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar  is not likely to join  the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf after parting ways with the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PMLN), Geo News  reported on Saturday.

According to the TV channel,  the  mercurial leader of the PMLN is due to hold a press conference latter in day where he would discuss  party matters and the current security and political situation of the country.

“He will leave the decision regarding PML-N’s future on the party leadership,” Geo quoted a source close to PMLN stalwart as saying.

The former minister, the TV said, would not ask the party leadership for a ticket to contest election.

The source said the Nisar Ali Khan would  contest the election as an independent  candidate if  the party does not  award him the ticket. 

Shahbaz Sharif has had several meetings with the disgruntled leader after being chosen  as President of the PMLN.

Nisar Ali Khan  has made it clear  that he is not dependent on party  ticket to win elections.
